In the music world, there's Madonna.
In soccer, it's Pelé.
In bowling, there's Paeng.
Legendary international bowler Rafael Nepomuceno of the Philippines - known simply as Paeng - fits in with the many celebrities and sports stars who are recognized by one name only.
A six-time world bowling champion who is widely regarded as the greatest international bowler in the sport's history, Paeng is teaming up with the United States Bowling Congress to grow and promote the sport around the world as a USBC certified coach and USBC Ambassador.
Paeng was at USBC Headquarters in Greendale, Wis., in April to receive training and earn certification as a USBC Level I and Bronze Instructor. As a USBC Coaching Instructor, Paeng will teach Level I and Bronze classes in the Philippines and Asia. The coaches Paeng trains and certifies through the USBC program will develop bowlers in the region, some of whom could become top level competitors.
"It's a big honor to be invited by the United States Bowling Congress to teach the program and certify coaches in the Philippines and Asia," said the 50-year-old Paeng. "I'm very excited for this. I'll do my best to promote bowling.
